We bike it frequently. I think you and the kids will enjoy it a great deal. Are you camping?
We like to visit Foster Falls, Shot Tower, and Fries along the trail. The bridges and tunnels are great fun.
I can recommend a couple of cabins if you are interested. The food options along the trail are not terrific. There is a cute little wine shop (Purple Feet I think is the name)and a very nice coffee shop with good food. it is on Main St and has a striped awning...one hundred block as I recall but for the life of me the name isn't coming to me. Maybe later....

I will welcome cabin suggestions & if you know the locations of the tunnel(s) that would be excellent. Don't think we're camping this time. Shot Tower was at the top of the list from what I have read.
+ I am certain to stop @ Villa Appalccia for lunch, since I'll be in the neighborhood. Thx !

Both are located directly on the trail. The first is at the Galax trailhead and the second is on Chestnut Creek. A great resource on the park is http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/new.shtml
the rangers are terrific. I suggest you give them a call and perhaps they can pinpoint the tunnels. I cannot for the life of me find that map.
